TAM® Instructor Certification Process
1. All applicants must submit a current résumé and application, and any other documents supporting their qualifications as an instructor.
2. All applicants must:
- Successfully complete the TAM® class and be certified
- Successfully complete the TAM® Train-The-Trainer seminar.
3. The fee for the Train the Trainer Seminar is $300.00 and is nonrefundable. A renewal fee of $50.00 is due on January 31 of each of the following two years. Certification is good for 3 years. Certification cards will only be valid for one year and must be re-issued by NHI® on a yearly basis (January 31). At the end of the third year, all instructors must be re-certified. Re-certification fees will be no more than $300.00.
4. NHI® will inform the applicant within three weeks after completing the TAM® Train-the-Trainer seminar whether he/she is eligible to become certified.
5. The applicant must contact NHI® to arrange to co-teach a class with a certified instructor and to teach a class while being monitored by a certified instructor.
6. After the applicant successfully completes the monitored teaching process the Non-Compete Agreement, the Nondisclosure Agreement and the Standard Operating Procedure must be signed and returned to NHI®.
7. Once all agreements have been signed and returned, the instructor will be placed on the TAM® Instructor Register and may schedule classes and start teaching TAM® following the Standard Operating Procedure.
8. Placement on the TAM® Instructor Register is not a guarantee or any promise by NHI® that applicant will be offered TAM® classes to teach.
